    fancy cool name

    finally found a decent truck worth keeping. i havent had much time to go over it becuase of work but here are the specs:

    1979 F350
    400M
    4 spd (420?)
    NP205
    Dana 60 F&R
    4.10

    been repainted eleventy times with a roller. was a shop truck for the past ten years pulling trailers. new clutch, brakes, belts and random other odds and ends. Drove it back last night from seguin(from redneck trailer house in middle of no where) strait up through austin, luckily it was dark. leaks/burns oil, leaks fuel, floor boards rusted out, cancer around the drip rail, only speedo works. besides that. the truck is rust free otherwise, runs great, everything else works(even A/C), and will cruise at 60mph with out any problems.

    going to sell the western haulerish bed to recoupe some cash back. going to strip the inside and see how bad the rust goes, power wash 30 years of grime off of it, attempt to fix leaks. more details as get get farther into it.

    teaser pic, will get the money shot later

    That is a good start on a awesome rig.

    Fool sizes rule!!!

    Just guessing, but the tranny is probably a 465 (I have never heard of a 4wd 420 unless it was converted) but I may be terribly wrong as I know jack **** about fords and about as much on transmissions.

    owners manual confirmed the 435. kinda neat i got a whole bunch of the original papers with it.

    anyways, ive bragged enough on how much i stole it for.

    i thought about keeping it somewhat stock after i got it(being rare and all), bought it close to dark and didnt look over it too well. but since the cab is pretty much trash, im wheeling the bastard. i was able to take a screw driver and poke holes all through the floor. going to need to invest in some springs, although im sure when i get the bed off it will raise it up a couple inches.

    bout to go tear the interior apart and power wash it, ill get some pics later tonight.

    like i said in the PM to tyler who cares what you got it for. that makes it even more badass that you got it for so cheap!! that bed is worth X amount whether you paid 3 dollars for the truck or 3000 dollars for the truck. im very pleased to see you in a full size my friend. talk to travis he knows a ton about the 400 and 435 that is in there. good luck!

    fawk a mini, his cab is in the same condition as mine so when he has to use it to pivot on it won't bother him.
